5 Things Nearly (Him And) Me

Paul lately tagged us for a "5 Things About Me" meme. He cheekily handed the chore of selecting 5 things nearly him over to his partner, too Mike provided a most pithy profile of the gourmand. We've decided to appropriate this persuasion too write 5 things nearly each other.

Here are 5 things you lot mightiness non already know nearly Michael:

1. Michael's CV boasts 3 degrees: inwards maths, information technology too criminology.

2. The origin repast that he cooked for me was a huge wok-full of noodles, chicken, veges, peanut butter, too a sachet of curry paste. This was his signature dish too he was secretly disappointed at the lukewarm reply it received from me. I was but trying to croak along my watering eyes inwards cheque - I was no check for the chilli oneupmanship that goes on inwards a sharehouse of 20-something males. Still, a human being who cooks at all is pretty attractive, right? He's since refined his fashion but notwithstanding provides most of the enthusiasm (and labour) for the hearty and/or spicy meals on our table: one-pot wonders, curries, Mexican, too the like.

3. Much to my bewilderment, Michael's a sport lover. He thoroughly enjoys a social game of soccer or netball, too has been known to ascension early on (3am early) to lookout adult man a soccer or cricket game inwards some other fourth dimension zone.

4. Michael's most hated foods are fresh tomatoes too bananas. His love apple tree tolerance has gradually developed to sauces, sun-dried too the occasional sandwich but there's been no shift on the banana front. Consequently they rarely motility into our household at all.

5. Contrary to pop assumption, Michael decided to larn vegetarian earlier I did. (Seems similar it's the sort of bleeding-heart matter girls do, too and so smashing their boyfs into...?) He challenged himself to attempt it for 5 weeks too and so didn't stop. I followed his Pb nearly a calendar month later.

So, to render the favour: 5 things you lot don't know nearly Cindy:

1. Cindy has a PhD. Unfortunately, she makes scant purpose of her impressive title, leaving it to me to mass flights too things for Dr Cindy.

2. Cindy is a weird eater. There are all kinds of rules past times which her eating is governed: fizzy drinks exclusively larn amongst obese foods, pasta too salad must move to go inwards classify tiffin boxes, java tin dismiss exclusively survive consumed amongst chocolate. And so on. Most weird of all though, is her obsession amongst eating neatly. On i of our earliest outings together, I sat too watched Cindy painstakingly alternative at a piece of cheesecake so that it ever looked similar it had but been served up. There was nary a bump or chunk missing anywhere, strictly require lines. After watching this for some fourth dimension (another thing: Cindy eats to a greater extent than tardily than anyone I've ever known), I took my fork too mashed her cake upward a bit. Not a wise move. I honestly retrieve she didn't taste the residuum of the cake at all. Weird.

3. Cindy's vegetarianism (while copied off me) brought her into describe of piece of job amongst the way most people saw her anyway. I've lost count of the pose out of people who've met Cindy too somehow decided that she was vego. It used to come about amongst startling regularity. At to the lowest degree instantly their assumptions don't brand an donkey out of anyone.

4. Contrary to our inner-city, latte-sipping lifestyles, Cindy doesn't similar olives. I've been working on her for years, but fifty-fifty a tapenade is plenty to plough her off. Other nutrient phobias: uncooked onion too uncooked mushrooms (despite an almost pathological honey of cooked mushrooms).

5. Cindy is a talented (if currently inactive) painter - at that topographic point are at to the lowest degree iii of her pictures adorning the walls of our house. She's tried to pigment pictures of me twice, but I can't sit down notwithstanding for long plenty without falling asleep, so they're both of me inwards the country of nod (I wonder if it but agency she doesn't know how to pigment eyes? Hmmm.)

We won't tag anyone else inwards particular, but delight bring together inwards if you lot experience so inclined too give us a link to your post. I'd honey to know at to the lowest degree 5 to a greater extent than things nearly you!
